I must be mis-understanding something! - if he set the device timer using his watch, or before the clocks changed, at say....7am, and the detonation time at 9am, then whether all the other clocks changed, he would still have the 2hrs escape time he planned for! unless the device timer self-adjusted.

I wonder if time really does stand still when approaching death? Do you think he had a few imaginary seconds to try to work out where he had gone wrong, before it all went up in smoke?

Might still have plenty of time - 'only' seriously injured I think.
